We'll probably be hearing more about PlanetSide 2 soon, as John Smedley tweets that the NDA has lifted for the MMOFPS sequel (thanks Blahman), saying simply: "The NDA for the Planetside 2 beta is now officially lifted." He also clarifies once and again that this does not mean they are about to release the game.

Just played for a few hours. I mostly played heavy assault and MAX but I briefly played every class and hopped in most of the vehicles. The UI is a bit overwhelming at first but I'm picking it up. Also I've got a bunch of points to spend on various upgrades but I can't decide where to use them. It's definitely something where I worry about wasting them and instead (probably more damaging) don't spend any at all.
